A successful workers comp claim will pay for medical treatment, rehabilitation costs and wages lost while you recover from your injuries.

Employers and their insurance companies are often concerned about fraud, making them reluctant to pay the benefits injured employees are entitled to receive. This is when an experienced workers compensation lawyer at Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez law firm can help. Attorneys understand the nuances of this area of law. They will fight for the rights of employees to collect fair compensation for their injuries.

To file for compensation you must complete a Notice of Injury or Occupational Disease Incident Report, or C-1 form, within seven days of the date of your injury. This does not start the claim but proves that your employer has received notification of your injury.

Your claim begins when you submit a completed C-4 form, or Employee’s Claim for Compensation/Report of Initial Treatment. You must fill out a portion of this form and your physician fills out the rest and sends it to your employer and the insurance provider. The physician must sign and date the form within 90 days of your injury.

If you are injured at work, it is in your best interest to act quickly. Call the legal professionals at Greenman, Goldberg, Raby and Martinez Law Firm at 702-388-GGRM (4476) for a free consultation.
